Yeah, they've been there forever. This happened, IIRC, when we changed
the files to actually do what the documentation says. The commit message is:
"2) Change the pgevent DLL file so it doens't specify ordinal for the
functions. You're not supposed to do that. You're actually supposed to
declare them as PRIVATE as well, but mingw doesn't support that. VC++
will throw a warning and not an error though, so we can live with it.
"

The change was required to build at all with MSVC.
